David A. Shugarts analyzed Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Codes and predicted the sequel, the upcoming Solomon Key. This time Mr. Shugarts' explains what he perceives will be "the mysteries surrounding the sequel to the Da Vinci Code", as it impacts today and influenced America's past. However that would mislead the audience, as SECRETS OF THE WIDOW'S SON is an interpretation of facts to include a look at the backgrounds of the Founding Fathers, not just Washington, but Pike a Freemason, and just who the Freemasons were and are, the number of key buildings with religious symbols on them, and what those symbols means, and the design of the city in a biblical context. Though alleging that his text will provide the key to understand Mr. Brown's upcoming sequel (we will not know until the latter is released), conspiracy buffs will appreciate this alternate look at history at a time when Church vs. State controversy reach the Supreme Court. Though some like this reviewer will be reminded of Erich Von Daniken's Chariot of the Gods, in which "historiography" plays a major role in the interpretation, or perhaps the movie Fillard Millmore, in which the Founding Fathers were considered Gods by the year 3000, Mr. Shugarts provides an entertaining educational book, but readers need to remain open-minded for other interpretations (perhaps a key to the Shugarts' key is forthcoming).
